@RobinJarvis1963 My friend (no longer on X) wrote this SubStack linking your Deptford Mice books to her teaching at University. I know she'd be thrilled if she knew you'd read it: open.substack.com/pub/thatprofma…

youtube.com/shorts/Jsq5AjG… Richard Bennett is a musician with #lockedinsyndrome and uses his eyes to communicate. Here Richard is using a Grid we designed so he can flex his improv skills using his eyes with an online drum kit. Guest musician is kit drummer Marshall Saunders. #ux #drumbit #accessiblemusic

It'll be interesting to see how good this is when it comes out of Beta and whether it shakes up the eye tracking industry: appleinsider.com/articles/24/06…

Also an update to the XAC with new features via firmware

Well we knew this was coming but much sooner than expected. Apple are bringing their own eye-gaze to iPads and iPhones using the built-in camera. Let's see how it compares with the traditional trackers, but this could be highly disruptive. #AAC apple.com/newsroom/2024/…

@Robert_Laidlow @HouseBedlam Great to see, We've been doing this with the Ensemble software since 2010! Xbox makes a great controller and the Xbox Adaptive opens up the possibilities to be even more accessible.

I'm running a project called PLAY where we're transforming video game controllers into digital instruments and commissioning new pieces for them. Yesterday we got together for a brilliant experimentation day - look out for concerts later this year with @HouseBedlam!

Great @TechnologyinMu1 article from @NottMusicHub area's Jack Goode on his journey with music tech in a special ed classroom timemusicuk.org/latest-news/ja…

SAT tests are not good for children or their education – we must put enjoyment, creativity, & inspiration back into learning, & let teachers do their job & teach Govt needs to get its fingers out of its ears, listen to teachers, pupils & parents, & #scrapSATs @MoreThanScore

My friends children are fundraising for @CandlelightersT. Check out their @JustGiving page and please donate if you can. Thank you! #JustGiving justgiving.com/page/victoria-…

A fantastic collection of free to use images. Ideal for sensory room themes.

These look like some really interesting courses.

I highly recommend Ian’s site. His seminars are excellent and the cost for access is a bargain.
